Herb Family [Rebirth]

morning in March

In the streets west of Tongcheng, many vendors have started to set up stalls, and the shops along the streets are also opening for business one after another.

But at the end of the street, the door of the biggest pharmacy was closed, and there were already some people waiting to grab the medicine. When the time came, the pharmacy hadn't opened for a long time, and the crowd began to commotion.

At this moment, a young man rushed over out of breath, and gasped, "Something... something happened... Huh... The Bai family... The young master of the Bai family... is dead!"

"what?!"

"how come……"

"Hey, Xiao Liu, don't talk nonsense, what's going on?..."

"..."

"..."

Because of Xiaoliuzi's words, the crowd immediately exploded.

Although everyone didn't believe what Xiaoliuzi said, but looking at the pharmacy with the door closed, a trace of uneasiness flashed in their hearts at the same time.

The Bai family is one of the best big families in Tongcheng, and it is also a herbal family that has been passed down for a hundred years. Speaking of the Bai family, no one in Tongcheng does not give a thumbs up.

And the young master mentioned by the little six just now is Bai Heng who is about to succeed the Patriarch.

The Bai family has been passed down to Bai Heng's generation, which is already the tenth generation. Originally, Bai Heng should officially take over the Bai family on his 20th birthday next month, but now the little six sons say that Bai Heng is dead.

The Baicaotang in front of me is the Bai family's pharmacy, and it is also the largest pharmacy in Tongcheng. Normally, Baicaotang opens early for business. For so many years, this is the first time that it has not opened after the hour. .

Therefore, although everyone said they didn't believe it, they actually started to doubt it in their hearts.

Everyone felt that even if Young Master Bai didn't die, something big must have happened to the Bai family, otherwise the Bai family wouldn't even neglect the business of the White Cottage.

Just when everyone was discussing, the Bai family mansion located in the east of Tongcheng was in a mess inside.

There is no other reason, because the eldest young master of the Bai clan, Bai Heng, was found dead on the bed early this morning, with his eyes wide open and dead for a long time.

Bai Heng's sudden death plunged the Bai family into a panic.

Although the Bai family is one of the best medicinal herb families in Tongcheng, except for the young master Bai Heng, the rest of the Bai family has no talent in medicine, let alone medical skills.

The reason why Bai Heng was able to be confirmed as the next head of the family at a young age was not only because he was not only the eldest son of the eldest son, but also because he was very talented in medicinal herbs and medical skills since he was a child.

But on the eve of Bai Heng's birthday, he was found dead on the bed in his room. ...

The news of the sudden death of the young master of the Bai family quickly spread throughout Tongcheng.

Young Master Bai's personal servants and maids were all kneeling in the backyard, beaten to pieces.

Now that the first young master Bai is gone, the burden of the Bai family is immediately placed on the second young master Bai Yan, and at this time, it is Bai Yan who ordered the servants and maids to be beaten to the point of bruises all over their bodies.

Bai Yan moved a grand master's chair, sat in the courtyard and watched Bai Heng's servants being punished, cursing with righteous indignation, "You dog slaves! You don't even know what happened to your brother! What did the Bai family support you for? !"

Bai Heng's servant gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain on his back. Bai Yan ordered his servants to take care of Bai Heng's personal servants, and some of them couldn't take it anymore, so they were beaten so abruptly. died.

Bai Yan didn't even bat an eye, he just waved his hands and asked people to drag the corpse to the mass grave.

In the end, those who survived were thrown by Bai Heng into the woodshed in the backyard and locked up.

However, although those servants are not dead, they are half disabled, and many of them have only one breath left.

After Bai Yan threw them into the woodshed, he didn't pay any attention to them, not to mention food, he didn't even give them saliva, he made it clear that they were left to fend for themselves.

The other servants saw it and didn't dare to say anything more. After all, the Second Young Master's temperament was not as gentle as the Eldest Young Master's.

Therefore, in front of the Second Young Master, the servants dare not say a word with their tails between their legs. Even if they can't see what the Second Young Master has done, they can only slander in their hearts.

The servants who were locked in the firewood room also knew that the Second Young Master was putting them here to die, so some of them showed despair and lost any will to survive.

Those servants were already injured, and now they were depressed, and several of them died that night.

Early the next morning, someone reported the situation in the woodshed to Bai Yan, and Bai Yan only said, "If you die, drag it out." Then he gave up.

The servants who were still in the woodshed just watched helplessly as their former companions were wrapped up in simple straw mats, and left the woodshed and the White Mansion just like that.

The few remaining people were the ones who had been with Bai Heng for the longest time, and even a servant girl among them survived.

Bai Heng's servant sat in a corner of the woodshed, looked at the maid who was huddled on the other side, and asked in a low voice, "Bai Zhi, are you alright?"

The servant girl's back moved, but before she could answer, the door of the firewood room was suddenly opened.

Several people looked up, and saw the second young master Bai Yan walking in with his hands behind his back, with a cold face.

Bai Yan walked straight towards Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi is Bai Heng's personal servant girl, and she is deeply trusted by Bai Heng. In the past, when Bai Heng was still there, not only her personal affairs were taken care of by her, even Bai Heng's study was also in charge of her.

And Bai Yan came here now just to ask Bai Zhi where the seal of the Bai family is.

Although Bai Heng has not officially taken over the position of Patriarch, he has started to learn how to manage the family affairs several years ago, and he has already taken over the seal of Patriarch a few months ago.

Bai Yan had sent many people to look for Bai Heng's yard and study, but they couldn't find the whereabouts of the seal, so he had to come to the firewood room in the end.

Fortunately, Bai Zhi was still alive, otherwise Bai Yan would have to work harder to find the patriarch's seal.

It's just that he had a good plan, but he didn't expect Bai Zhi to be a boring gourd. No matter how he asked, Bai Zhi would not speak.

At this time, the other servants in the firewood room also saw the clue - it seems that Bai Zhi really doesn't want to see the second young master!

And the second young master is so eager to get the patriarch's seal, does the rest of the Bai family know?

Bai Yan doesn't know what other people think, but even if he knows, he probably won't pay attention to it, because there is only one thing in his heart now, and that is the seal of the Patriarch.

It was hard for him to get to this point. Everything was for the seal of the Patriarch. He spent so much effort to get rid of Bai Heng. If he couldn't find the seal of the Patriarch, wouldn't it be useless? ...

******

Bai Heng felt as if he was in a sea of ​​flames, and his whole body felt very hot.

His consciousness is still a little fuzzy, he can't figure out what happened to him, and he can't figure out where he is now.

He just felt uncomfortable all over his body, and there was still a stream of heat rising from his body, making his head even more dizzy.

At this moment, a sharp stabbing pain suddenly came from his head, instantly waking Bai Heng up.

Bai Heng frowned tightly in pain, and at the same time some fragments flashed through his mind.

Bai Heng was stunned for a moment.

He suddenly remembered, yes, he remembered drinking a cup of tonic soup brought to him by his younger brother before he passed out, and then he felt pain in his chest, and he couldn't breathe in his throat.

As he remembered those episodes, he seemed to still feel the suffocation.

Coupled with the pain in his chest, all these made Bai Heng come to a conclusion in an instant - Bai Yan, his younger brother, actually poisoned him.

Having figured it out, Bai Heng felt very complicated.

If it is said that he did not expect this day to be false, after all, he and Bai Yan are only half brothers.Since ancient times, how many brothers of the same mother have fought for the family property, not to mention that he and Bai Yan were born of different mothers.

It's just that he didn't expect that Bai Yan would use such a brutal trick as poisoning.

Bai Heng smiled wryly in his heart, then felt something was wrong, since Bai Yan decided to make a move, how could he show mercy?He still remembers the pain of poisoning.

Besides, based on his understanding of herbal medicine, he knew that what Bai Yan gave him was "no solution".

There is no solution, as the name suggests, there is no antidote.

And this poisonous medicine is also a secret recipe handed down from the Bai family ancestors.

Logically speaking, except for the Patriarch of the Bai family, no one should know about it, but Bai Yan knew about it, and not only knew about it, but also used it on him.

Thinking of this, Bai Heng smiled wryly again, it seems that many people in Bai's family did not accept him.

But what's the use of thinking about it now?He's already lying here.

Even if he survived, Bai Yan would not let him go. Now that he is not feeling well all over is the best proof. I don't know if that kid Bai Yan planted some weird poison on his body again. 1 medicine. ...

Just as Bai Heng was immersed in his own thoughts, suddenly a chill hit his forehead, Bai Heng couldn't help sighing, and then he heard a childish voice saying: "Young master seems to be awake?"

Then another soft voice said: "Shh, keep your voice down, don't disturb the young master."

These two familiar voices were like two lightning strikes on the top of Bai Heng's head, which made Bai Heng wake up a little bit, and at the same time opened his eyes involuntarily.

The scene in front of him was a little different from what he had imagined.

He thought it would not be easy for him to fall into Bai Yan's hands, but he didn't expect to see familiar furnishings when he opened his eyes. This was clearly the room he had lived in for more than ten years.

His gaze turned around and landed on the two people standing beside the bed, and his pupils shrank again.

The boy in front of him was clearly his personal servant Bai Zhong, but it was Bai Zhong when he was young, and the one standing beside Bai Zhong was also a much younger Bai Zhi.

He was stunned, and blurted out, "Bai Zhong..." Then he was startled by his own voice again.

His voice was not hoarse at all, nor hoarse, nor dry, but it was soft, clearly the voice of a child.

Seeing that he was awake, Bai Zhong and Bai Zhi rushed to the bed at the same time and said in unison: "Young master, you have finally woken up."

Bai Heng was still in a state of shock, he stared blankly at the two in front of him, unable to react.Only at this time did he belatedly realize that there seemed to be something wrong with his body?
